Reading readiness is a crucial phase in children's development, as it lays the foundation for future learning and academic success. Parents and teachers should care about it because it helps children build the essential skills needed to read independently, such as recognizing letters, understanding sounds, and developing comprehension abilities. Early exposure to reading activities can ignite a child's love for books and learning, fostering curiosity and creativity.

Reading readiness also significantly impacts cognitive development, enhancing vocabulary, memory, and attention spans. When children have strong foundational reading skills by the time they reach kindergarten, they are more likely to excel in school and sustain a positive attitude towards education. Additionally, it mitigates the risk of future reading difficulties, which can lead to academic struggles and diminished self-esteem.

By actively promoting reading readiness through engaging activities like storytelling, letter games, and picture books, parents and teachers can create a nurturing and stimulating environment that supports children's growth. Investing time in these early developmental stages ensures that children are equipped with the critical tools for lifelong learning and achievement, building a pathway to both academic success and emotional well-being.
